Answer:

There are many effective methods of contraception. If you are looking for a longer term method that is very effective and does not require use at the time of intercourse, you might want to consider and intrauterine device. Additionally the hormonal methods of contraception, patch, pill, vaginal ring, and shot, are very effective if used correctly and consistently.
